The people of the Central African Republic have been suffering under Muslim attacks, particularly since March, when a coup placed the leader of the rebels into the Presidency. Since that time, Muslim Seleka rebels, many of them foreigners not from the CAR, had wreaked havoc, killing and hacking people with machetes.

The people in the majority Christian nation have begun to fight back and of course, now the media is reporting on the reaction back, after ignoring the rebel actions for months.

France has sent in troops at the urging of the people, who have been begging them to come in for months.
